BARCS is currently overflowing with Huskies and we are urgently seeking rescue partners to help us with 7 friends who are still waiting for placement.

Typically, these beautiful dogs are adopted quickly, but for reasons we can’t quite explain, these pups are still searching for their homes. As many know, Huskies are incredibly smart, energetic dogs with big personalities and sometimes unique quirks that can make them a better fit for experienced homes familiar with the breed. Because of this, rescue organizations can be an incredible resource in helping them decompress outside of the shelter environment and connect them with adopters who understand their needs. If your rescue has room to welcome one (or even a few!) of these deserving dogs, we would be so grateful for your partnership in helping them find the right path forward.🐾
